The Transoxthraxians had travelled for a long, long time. They had travelled from the land of the Slavs through the land of the Germans and Celts. Now, however, after a century and a half of migration, the Transoxthraxians had nearly reached their goal. By now, they had passed onto the third chieftain since their departure from the Baltic. Numbered in the high ten thousands, the Transoxthraxians formed a giant cloud of migrating horses and people that stretched for miles long and wide, kicking up dust and snow and dirt where they went. They passed through the territory of the Germans with relative ease, still having not made contact with the Germanic civilizations, such as Belgica.
The third in the line of Chieftains which had been created by the usurper general Dirgudas was named Agaidikas, which translated to the Gift of God. He was the one that led his people through the land of teh Germans following his father's death shortly after reaching the Alps. He didn't allow his people to stop, ever. Nearly three generations of people had passed away since the Transoxthraxians had a true homeland. While the people were getting weary, Agaidikas knew that his journey would soon come to an end. He was young, and full of life. His people were not. Despite being people of the steppe, people of the horse, and people of tbe bow, they were becoming tired of the continual nomadic life, despite their traditions. Transoxthraxians no longer knew a settled lifestyle. They knew how to raid, how to plunder, and how to steal food, but not grow it for themselves. But Agaidikas planned to teach them once he reached his destination.
It would be another thirteen years before Agaidikas reached the shores predicted by his predecessor's advisor. He had done so the previous morning, but had been too exhausted to make any official proclamation. The morning after he arrived, he gathered all his important nobles and warrior-chiefs. Standing atop a large stone, atop the high shores of what would later become the capital of the nation, on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean in Aquitaine, Agaidikas spoke. In front of him lay the thirty most important people within the domain of the Transoxthraxians. What he would say would later be recorded in the Kyzikas Gulmodas, or book of the Chiefs. "My fellow comrades, we have been birthed by the Drowned God, and preserved by the Good God. What has once been destroyed, has now been redeemed. I present to you, what my father and father before him seeked. I present to you, my dear vassals, the shores in which the Good God's presence upon this plane of existence meets the Drowned God each night, the place in which my father's father's predecessor was told about in a divine revelation to his High Seer. My people, we are no longer cursed. Go, and be free, to walk and ride the land as if it was yours, as if it was your ancestors, as it now is, blessed by the Good God, and desired by the Drowned God, and all the watchmen, the forests, and mountains, and hills, and stones, and rain. I proclaim this land to be Transoxthraxian, forever and always!"
It would be a month after the speech in which the Transoxthraxian resettlement was complete. It took a short war with the native Aquitanians, a mix of Celtic and Iberian cultures, to finally stake a place in the valuable land. The resettlement was forceful, with Transoxthraxian warrior castes forcing the Ibero-Aquitanians out of their native lands, and dividing it amongst the Transoxthraxian Tribal Castes which had been formed. The southernmost lands went to the Xaxonites, and the central parts of the land were given to the Zyravanites. The northernmost part of the land, in which the city of Vounomethea, capital city of the new Transoxthraxian land was being built, belonged to the crown of the Transoxthraxians. The final, and perhaps largest Caste, however, received no land. Upset by this, the leader of this caste, who were known as the Zyrvanites, Dolgordos, performed a campaign against the Gauls in the east, pushing them further eastwards, and establishing a land for him and his warrior caste, leaving Transoxthraxian lands to appear like so. The Transoxthraxian war tactics relied heavily on an all-cavalry force, which devastated their enemies by, not dissimilar to the Avars, Huns, or Mongols, by showering arrows upon them from horseback before retreating again. Different from the aforementioned steppe people, however, was the fact that the Transoxthraxians also held an elite type of Heavy Cavalry armed with spears and curved swords, known as the Falcata, which were developed during the campaign against the Ibero-Aquitanians.
